Mount Everest (English: Mount Everest) is the highest mountain in the world (when measured from sea paras). Peak ridge marks the border between Nepal and Tibet; peak in Tibet. In Nepal, the mountain is called Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा, Sanskrit for "Head of the Sky") and in Tibetan Chomolangma or Qomolangma ("Mother of the Universe"), pronounced in Chinese 珠穆朗瑪峰 (pinyin: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Feng).
Volcano
Copahue
Copahue is a stratovolcano nestled on the border between Argentina and Chile. There are nine volcanic craters along a 2 km (1.2 mi) line, and the eastern summit crater contains a briny, acidic 300 m (1000 ft) wide crater lake. Twentieth-century eruptions from the crater lake have ejected pyroclastic rocks and chilled liquid sulfur fragments. Copahue means "sulphur waters" in Mapuche.
